Jewish peer saves Christian families from ISIS

Lord Weidenfeld is helping fund the rescue missions in Iraq as a way of “repaying his debt” to Christians who he says saved his own life back in 1938.

His charity, the Weidenfeld Fund, has been working with international relief agency The Barnabas Fund and another charity called Foundation Generation 21, based in the Czech Republic.

They have recently saved 37 Iraqi families fleeing their homes after attacks by ISIS.

Lord Weidenfeld was a penniless student when British Quakers helped him reach the UK from Nazi-occupied Austria, just a year before the Second World War started.

ISIS is an Islamophobic term. It is Daesh

It's also fascinating how successful and how much German Jews fleeing from the Nazis have contributed to the world, like Lord Weidenfeld, the Tugendhat brothers (and Sir Michael's son, Tom Tugendhat MP), Ralph Miliband, Max Born, Ernst Chain, Lucian Freud

Can you imagine gangs of immigrant German Jews like Max Born or Lucian Freud's father forming rape gangs to attack native women in the streets?

Yet despite their achievements and contribution to the world, Europe still saw fit to drive them from their lands and where they remain in large numbers, there are countless instances of anti-semitism.

You'd think that people, especially Europeans, would be more grateful to them but no, they just want to drive them off

It seems like some Europeans don't need an excuse to display their xenophobia, regardless of whether it be towards rape gangs or Nobel Prize winners.

Another top thread from OP.

You are one of the most perplexing posters I have seen on here I must say.

You think addressing them by what is simply their equivalent Arabic acronym will stop the lopping off heads?

That is completely nonsensical. Da'esh is just the Arabic acronymic name for Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS)

Imagine my shock when the Thread Starter repped one of my posts (on his other thread where I highlighted the persecution of Jews) and then not two minutes later, he labelled me a "Nazi".

Regard;ess of race and religion everyone should help people from ISIS, we need to get rid of ISIS

Oh wow. So successful and enriching! Communists and sexual perverts! How lucky we British are to have Jews in our midst.

The rep was a mistake.

You linked to a neo-Nazi video from youtube and decided to spread the anti-semitic meme that goes something like "Look how many times the Jews have been expelled, there must be something to it"

I linked to a video that showed how fickle and discriminatory some Europeans were and still are and that it is inherent within some groups to be that way.

You've set a very low bar for being a Neo-Nazi.

Piss off, Nazi a-hole.

70 years ago, we used to hang people like you for treason. You're lucky that our forebears fought to make this a free country where you can hold your obscene views
